THE Tiaaes-DemoerGt, in speaking

sentative Interstate Congress, at which
Kansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iii.
nois, Iowa, and, indeed, all the West
ern States, will have their leading
agriculturists and horticulturists pres
ent. As for the. Southern States the
IimeS-Demoorat has already printed
the list of delegates appointed by their
several Governors, and quoted from
the papers to show how much interest
is being taken in this proposed CON
yention, and what great results are
expected from it IN the new methods
of improved and scientific farming
that have latterly been introduced into
this section"

The emigration to Southwestern
Louisiana in general and Calcasieu
parish in particular, continues in Il
regular stream. The prosperity of this
section within the past five or six
years is almost unprecedented. Lands
that were considered worthless deserts
have been made into Furnishing farms,
and where bnt few years ago the
creole "tackey" and wild stock Of
the prairie made their stamping ground
and grazed at will, stands beautiful
cottages surrounded by some of the
finest fruit orchards 10 the South. Orr
resources have attracted the attention
of the agriculturists of the country and
the hidden wealth of old CaIcasieu
is bound to be developed. Energy,
pluck and perseverance will not fail
neither will the farmer that comes
here to till the soil-if he comes de-
termined to succeed.
